TCS is my dream company, I will tell in short why it is so. When I was in first year there is TCS campus drive in our institute, at that time I asked to some of seniors about the company and they told me in short and was very curious to know more about the company, to get more information about the company I started surfing on google and collected information and decided that this is the only company where I want to work. This is how the TCS became my dream company. To take my dream into reality I started working accordingly. When I got know that TCS take certain rounds, like Aptitude, technical interview, and HR interview. For aptitude round I need work on my quantitative aptitude and technical aptitude. In second year I started working on my technical skills, like improving my coding ability in languages like C, C++ which are the basic languages to learn any language. I started practicing the program in C also in C++. When we are in third I decided to start with the general quantitative aptitude, and fortunately our college arranged one month training program on general aptitude which was taken by Aptech. The training helped me a lot to work on my aptitude. After completing the training, I was much confident that I can crack the aptitude test of the TCS by practicing the aptitude question. For practicing the aptitude question I used spend some time on indiabix, which is one of the best website for practicing the aptitude questions and Quantitative aptitude by R.S Agarwal is also best book for aptitude. At the same time I started improving my technical skills, from my seniors I came to know about the GeeksForGeeks website which is one of the best website for computer science students, and this website helped me a lot during the preparation of interview. Because there are lot of interview experiences are present which helped me for preparing for technical as well as HR interview. The test was scheduled on 3rd & 4th Aug, till the test date I am continuously practicing general aptitude, technical aptitude & programs. Finally the wait is over and test day is arrived. My shift was on 4th Aug, on 3rd Aug I slept early because I want to appear for test with fresh mind. The test started at 11:30 a.m. It was one and half hour test, which is divided into four section such as English, Quantitative Aptitude, Programming Concepts and Coding. Each carrying negative marking except coding section. In English section there are fill in blank type questions, I have solved 13 out of 15. The quantitative aptitude section was bit difficult, I have solved around 7-8 questions out of 15, looking at the difficulty of test it was great number for me. There are 10 questions in programming concepts section, I attempted 7 questions out of it. In coding section there was one problem statement for which we have to code. My problem statement was bit easy, I solved it and code in 15-18 minutes, out of 12 test case my code was passing 7 test case, rest time I was thinking on how to pass other test case, but unfortunately I was not able to cover it. The test end at 1 p.m., at that I was feeling relaxed because my test went good. The result of test was announced on 10th Aug and I got shortlisted for the interview. The interview was scheduled on 26th of Aug, it was scheduled in R.I.T Islampur. It is video conference type interview taken on their own platform. It was my first ever attempt to give interview through video conference. Due to this I was bit nervous and waiting for my call. I was very lucky that day, when my name is called I went for the interview, and the interviewer said please be seated and wait for 5 minutes. After listening these words I was bit relaxed and I groomed myself in that environment. After five minutes my interview started. First of all they asked a relaxing question.

I would like to share my experience in TCS drive. As you know TCS interviews held in Islampur on 26th August and I cracked that interview. So I am very glad to share my experience. TCS is my dream company. As we know TCS is multinational software company and highest-ranked IT services company and the top Indian company. Every year it hires near about 20000-25000 fresher’s. To get more information about the company I started surfing on Google and collected information. The hiring process is starts with online TNQT exam. This contains main four categories, English, Quantitative aptitude, Programming Logic MCQs and Coding. After completion of 5th semester in December our college organized Aptitude Training program for cracking TNQT this training has helped lot to me. Near about all topics related to TCS NQT are covered in this 15 days training. Then in 6th semester, I practice on aptitude. Unexpectedly, I cracked TNQT and I got eligible for TCS Ninja Interview. The result of TNQT was declared on 10th August 2019. Then I had contacted to seniors who had cracked TNQT. They told about important subjects, possible questions which are required for interview. That time I was in my hometown. Due to flood all roads was blocked. No any single book, no any study material was available to me. That time I had taken the help of YouTube and educational websites like Geeksforgeeks, Tutorialspoint, and Stack Overflow. For technical interview I have referred careerride.com website. My uncle Prof. Avinash Joshi had guided me lot of for interview. He daily sends me some links of YouTube for preparation of HR interview. 5 days before final interview, college organized mock technical and HR interview. That time, I hadn’t performed well. They guided me, how to give appropriate answers. They shown me my weaknesses and told me where and in which subjects I had to improve. Then our CSE department also organized subject wise mock interviews. I worked lot of after mock interview. I studied C, C++, database, data structure, some concepts of java, and details of project. During this tensed period, my family especially my mom and dad supported me lot. They told me that only few days are remaining. Do your best. Don’t take tension. I will crack the interview. Finally the day came. On 26th August 2019, my first professional interview held at RIT, Islampur. I went to interview with lot of blessings, best wishes with confidence. It was video conferencing. 

First technical interview started. Some questions asked during interview are listed below: 

• Tell me about yourself. 
• Which programming language have you used for coding in TNQT?  Some concepts based on database: o What is joins? o Tell me about inner and left joins? 
• One example is given and they asked me, how many tuples will come in inner and left join? 
• Write a Fibonacci series program. 
• Which are the types of sorting? 
• One example is given and asked me to sort it by bubble sort. 
• Difference between C and Java. 
• Difference between C and C++. 
• Which are OOP’s concepts? 
• What is inheritance? 
• Tell scenario how multilevel inheritance occurs in C++. 

I had answered all most all the questions confidently. And then second interview started. That was Managerial Round. Questions asked by him are: 

• Which is your favorite subject in 12th standard?
• Concepts of chemistry like diffusion. 
• Who has invented periodic table? 
• In which language you have written first program? 
• Which most interesting program have you done ever? 
• Questions asked me in HR interview: 
• What you have learnt from college life other than studies? 
• Have you know about Guwahati? 
• Where it is? 
• If you don’t know about your job location then how will you reach there? 
• Can you work at any shift?

All these questions are asked to me during interview. The experience of my interview was good. After interview I was somewhat confident about selection. On 12th September, the result came. And I was selected. That was the happiest moment of my life.

Success Story MohdAquid Mushrif 2019-20

Student of Computer Science and Engineering Department at Annasaheb Dange College of Engineering and Technology Ashta

“Success is a result of a ton of hard work with a slight touch of smartness.” A Job with the Leading MNC like Tata Consultancy Services is the aim for every Engineering Student and when I got this Opportunity through TCS Digital it was like a dream come true. Campus Placements are a very integral part of Engineering. Having a Job before you finish your last year gives you a high stack of confidence to face the industry.

                The First Round of almost every Company is the Quantitative Aptitude Test. The main Key to crack this round is Practice, practice and loads of practice. Till you don’t get a flavor of all the various types of questions that would be asked you won’t be able to face this Aptitude Round. TCS has the ‘National Qualifier Test’ (Ninja) which consists of 4 Sections: Verbal, Quantitative, Technical and Coding. The Verbal Section Consists of 15 questions the Time allotted to this section is 10 mins. Most of these questions would be fill up the blanks with articles, synonyms and Sentence rearrangement. The Quant Section will have 15 questions the Time in this section would be 30 mins, it is not advisable to give 2 mins to each question, a common mistake made by many students. Try to wind up and solve the easy questions in a less amount of time so that you can give more time to the difficult and time consuming ones. These questions are from general Aptitude Topics like Time-Rate-Work, P&C, Probability, Ages, Number Systems, etc. The technical section has 10-15 questions and the time allotted would be 20-25 mins. This section is comparatively of moderate difficulty. The Coding section will have 1 problem statement and 30 mins to solve it. The Tricky part in Aptitude is Negative Marking. Read the INSTRUCTIONS carefully understand them completely and then proceed.

                The Preparation for Aptitude can be started from 1^st Year itself but if you’re in the 7^th semester and if you’ve still not started practicing aptitude daily then it’s a quite alarming situation. Use any Book to take up aptitude questions or better lookup on the internet. Websites like Faceprep, Indiabix.etc provide an adrenaline of questions. I myself used a book called ‘Aptipedia’, It has all the questions topic wise and with increasing difficulty. Solving Company specific Mock Tests in allotted time is another great practice to deal with the pressure during the test. One key to keep in Mind is that the Company is not judging our Math solving skills, from Aptitude it is actually judging our Problem Solving Skills so keep in mind that most of the questions can be solved by Approximation and Basic Logical Tricks. The training by Sanir Kittur Sir from APTECH helped me the most to crack this round. His Logical Insight to every problem made it very easy to solve. The Aptitude Round Result does not only depend on your knowledge of Aptitude it also depends on the state of your mind while giving the test, its necessary to have a calm state of mind and to control your nervousness as it may lead to own disadvantage.

                The Bonus round for Ninja Test Toppers is the Digital Test which gives you an opportunity to get a higher package. This Digital Test has Increased Difficulty and advance level questions. A tip to crack this test is to focus on the Coding Section and Pass all the Test Cases. Here too the Negative Marking Coin plays a vital role. If you crack this test you get a chance to give interviews for digital role else you can continue with the Ninja interviews.

                Regarding the Preparation for Interviews I would say, prepare 100% of your Resume. The questions will be asked on the basis of what you’ve written in your Resume. So be careful while preparing your Resume, do not put unnecessary things that you don’t fully know about, that would lead to some unwanted questions. The Flow of your Interview is in your hands, Answer in a way that the next question will automatically be from your previous Answer. The questions would judge your knowledge about the technologies you’ve mentioned in your Resume.  

                A Final but a very crucial tip from my side Confidence plays a very important role in cracking any challenge any test. The Outcome depends 70% on your knowledge and 30% on your confidence with which you present your Knowledge.

                I would like to thank all my teachers and our HOD for their precious guidance and encouragement. I would express my gratitude to our Dean Training & Placement Suhel Sayyad Sir and the whole Campus Placement Team for Mentoring, Motivating and guiding me to success. Also I want to thank Sanir Kittur Sir and the whole APTECH team for the valuable training they provided. I would like to express my gratitude to my College, Annasaheb Dange College of Engineering and Technology for providing me this platform where I could achieve my dreams.
